' The War. All interest in the differences between Russia and Japan have been transferred from the plains of Manchuria and the shores of {Siberia to the navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where toe envoys of the two waning conn trios have been holding their sessions in t\n effort to reach an agreement tliat will bring about peace, says the Charlotte Observer. Japan has submitted to the Russian plenipotentiaries her terms, the principal items of which . \ included reimbursement of war, expenses nnd the cession of the i Island of Sakhalin. In reply Jtns- j W1H, Hill led, I ItIII no let t noi y would beeedod and no indemnity paid, L and the situation seemy gloomy ho ^ f?r Hi peace is concerned.

Meeting. Editor Times: Please allow nte space in the columns of your paper to make a few comments on the anti-dispensary conference recently held in Yorkvilie. Frojn {reports. thjs conference received jt?o|t pitp a "cpimiiittep of the wholjpi to ptptqe and yillify j li. K. Tjllman, reminding one. it is qhki, very nincli of the bitter campaign through which we passed-w height* Independents undertook tiJPdefeni > the Democratic party by Bpp^nIir?^c to the negroes. Tile' honent prohibitionists of York county, nniny of whop? hre friends to the se'tijof senator but do not agree with him on the whiskey question, are no doubt disgusted at this display of bad temper. Are the politicians who dominated this meeting honest, or have tliey a deep layecj plot to defeat the senator for re-election next year? It looks the latter way from our view point. Who called this con* fereneeY It is dollars to dnughnuts that ipr.pty per cent of the men whose names were signed to the call were Tillman haters, and have always opposed him. We will wager that a large majority of those present at the conference as doh'gates are Tillman-haters, and have always been. We will also wager that ninety percent of those who solicited signatures in the several townships of the county asking for an election to deride whether or not tho dispensary shall be removed from Yorkville are Tillman-haters, and have always been. l)o these fellows invite a return to factionalismV A few more siu-h meetings as that held in Yorkville will bring it around nil right. Keep nn eye on tlie^o |)olitieiitiiB ami spe if our surmises are not correct Reformer. ( Tf the above is a true report of the meeting, we are thankful, and are glad to announce the fact, that Fort Mill township was not represented in the list of delegates who attended ?Ed. Times, j ? Why We Dropped an Issue. Among the reports given by the Columbia State of the militia encampment in that city the past week wo ibid the following: "A line example of company pride was exhibited in the notion of Sergt. R. W. Bradford, proprietor of the Fort Mill Times, who closed his office and suspended publication of his paper for one week that he and his two assist ants might come with their company to the encampment. With such a membership as this it is no wonder that Unpt. Spratt brought '.12 per cent, of his total maximum enrollment." Playing Ball on Paper. The Times agrees with the Waxhaw Enterprise that if the Rock Hill hall team "could play ball half as well on the diamond as she ' an on p.sper, she would be a daisy." and yet to watoh the re- ! ports of the team's work as they j appear in the newspapers of that; town one is naturally led to he- j lieve that they ure simply invincible. For some time ]w?st the fane here have Injan nmuse.l at the manner in which the Rock Mill papers''boost*' their team and id- 1 most ignore the opposing team when the former is victorious; also the brief mention of the panic when the home team is defeated, j I'he writer's attention has been i called to t,he fact that not the, slightest mention was made bv the Hock Mill piipers of. tjhe game be-I tw?-en the Fori Mill teum and "excellent" team of that city played July 3. in which the Fort Mill boys were victorious by a score of lint h-?w about The Her-j ^^A^eporl of the recent Rock i ^^svillc game?

The Dispensary Condemned. ^ An interesting review of dispell- j I snry conditions in the State is i ! presented by tbe Npws and (Joiitiei j | in a group of letters from corres- ^ pondents in practically every j st county in South Carolina. Ac V ('(Iff 1 i 111 r til Till. \'.IWU unit t ,niii-i..i''j C ^ - ""h m ^ j summary tjf the reports, four conn- ' I ties are now without dispensaries, ; m I Marlboro and Greenwood never fr I having had any and Cherokee and | Pic-kens having voted out t!.e sys- I ii; teni under the provisions of thejc; Brice act; in eighteen counties' ? agitation has been started for the ! voting out of the dispensary, elec- | tions having been ordered in some, i S' petitions for elections being in ! circulation in others and move- j ment toward circulating petitions j ^ being under way in the rest ; Fourteen of these, it is said, will ] at almost certainly abolish the dis- t pensary and c\ecTee prohibition, i while the result in the other four j is uncertain. Tiiree other counties f. which have yet thrown no organ w i/.ed movement toward getting rid of the system, are believed to be ^ nn'i-dispensary in sentiment. ui i Twelve of the remaining sixteen ri I counties givo evidence of a prefer- f,r encq for the dispensary over prohibilion. Five of these, including w Charleston ayd Kichlaud are dis- tl pensary only in contradistinction to pioli ibit ion, but would probably a't vote, out the dispensary at once if Hi they should have the option of or 'substituting a high license system sa f?r it- . . 12 Of the thirty-seven counties, h canvassed, therefore, it appears i si that but seven are really sntislied j with the dispensary and in these J the revenue fen urea of the system ?t is its chief strength with the peo- | ?? pie. The review is very illuminat-j ?f Hit;. JI would seem llnd the dis- ! ^ pengnry hns been ttied unci found i |? wanting nml is to be condemned j cu ns n RyHtem for restriction of the 1,1 traffic in liquor. Tiie moral phase Julias f)ccn a delusion.. The revenue feature appeals to Rome people strongly and it is somethino to be I* considered very carefully. It would seem that, after thirteen years of Horrowtul experience the people of the Slate are coming to a sano J consideration of the liquor tralli problem, without political prejudice or hysterical sentimentality. el ' .
